Broadcasters ban paid time for controversial public figures
The National Association of Broadcasters code committee adopted a rule barring compensation for time used by spokesmen of controversial issues such as Father Charles E. Coughlin. Stations may air such topics only in public forum style discussions with clear control by the station, and scripts must be preapproved. The move aims to prevent one side from monopolizing airtime while preserving free yet balanced discussion.
